GLOVE.

Application filed October 18, l924. Serial No; 744,323.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR A. STEIN- nnnenn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of San Francisco, county of San Francisco, and State of California, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Gloves, of which the following is a specification.

' The object of this invention is to provide a glove having a novel form of construction at the wrist portion or cuff whereby said wrist portion or cufi' may be folded to various positions to afford many novel effects and designs.

This object is accomplished by the utilization of a laterally extending cuff of several thicknesses, which cuff is capable of being folded and adjusted to various positions on the wrist of the wearer to provide different design effects.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a glove showing my improved construction at the wrist;

Figure 2 is a view of the wrist portion of the glove showing the adjustable cut]? or edging folded to one of the positions in which the same is capable of being worn;

Figure 3 is a similar view showing the cuff distended to produce the effect of an outstanding frill around the wrist; and

Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 3, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

In the embodiment of my invention disclosed in the accompanying drawing, 1 indicates the body of the glove which is of the conventional construction and which is provided with the usual fastening members 2 and 3 to hold the glove about the wrist. The wrist portion of the glove is provided with the usual edging or welt- 4 to which is secured an outstanding strip of fabric or leather 5, said strip being secured to or under the welt 4; by the line of stitching 6. Said strip may be made of a single continuous section of fabric extending circumferentially about the wrist or the same may be composed of a plurality of connected sections 7 extending radially from the wrist opening of the glove and joined together by stitching on the lines 8. i

A similar section'of fabric or leather is shown at 9 and the same is connected to the outer edge 10 of the strip by stitches 11. The strip 9 is similar in all respects with the strip 5 except that it is not connected to the body of the glove in any way but extends inwardly from the edge towards the glove and has its inner edge terminating in an edging or welt 12.

Thus, the outstanding flared cuff, consisting-of the two sections of material 5 and 9 is reversible and may be worn in various positions providing a finished and novel appearance and adding greatly to the appearance and design of the glove.

In Figure 1, one of the ways in which the outstanding flared cuff may be worn is dis closed, wherein it will be seen that the cuff is extending downwardly and over the wrist of the wearer of the glove with the strip or face 9 outward.

In Figure 2, the reverse of the position of Figure 1 is shown, where it will be seen that the cuff is folded upwardly so that the welt 4 on the glove is visible.

A third position in which the cuff may be adjusted to is disclosed in Figure 3where it will be seen that the welt 12 is drawn up on the hand towards the fingers of the wearer so that the cuff is spread apart providing a wide flared cuff in which both faces 5 and 9 are visible and the two welts 4 and 1 2 may be seen. 7

It will be seen that regardless of the position in which the cuff is worn, the glove possesses a neat and finished appearance as a welt or edging is provided at a when the glove is in a position shown in Figure 2 and a welt 12 is provided when the glove is worn in the position shown in Figure 1.

By utilizing sections or areas on the strips 5 and9 of contrasting colors, various pleasing effects of design or arrangement of ornamentation can be secured.

The glove and the novel cuff arrangement herein described may be made of any suit-able material, but the construction lends itself more particularly to gloves of leather which possess the required stiffness to cause the cuff to remain in any of the various positions in which it may be worn.

From the foregoing, it is obvious that my invention is not to be restricted to the exact embodiment shown but is broad enough to cover all structures coming within the scope of the annexed claims.

Having described my invention. What I claim is:

1. A glove having a laterally projecting cuff strip, said trip being composed of two sections of material joined at their outer edges, one of said sections being joined to the body of the glove at the Welt the other section being free to move on and about said glove.

2. A glove having a Wrist portion, a laterally projecting strig secured thereto, said strip being composed of a plurality of joined sections extending radially from the glove, a similar strip secured to and adagted to lie over said first mentioned strip and torin a reverse side therefor. said last mentioned strip having an inner free end surrounding the bod ot' the glove.

Signed at. the city. county and State of New York, this 14th day of October, 1924.
